'''Hitmonlee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サワムラー''' ''Sawamular'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

Hitmonlee is a humanoid Pokémon with an ovoid body. Lacking a distinct neck and head, its upper torso has almond-shaped eyes with black space around them and appears to lack a nose and mouth. Primarily brown, it has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs. Each hand has three fingers and each foot has three clawed toes. The soles of its feet and its ankles have circular, yellow pads. Hitmonlee is an exclusively male species with no female counterpart.

Hitmonlee's legs freely contract and stretch similar to a coiled spring. This flexibility allows Hitmonlee to run with lengthy strides and gives it greater reach for its kicks. Its excellent sense of balance enables it to kick in succession from any position. After battling, it rubs down its legs to relax the tight muscles. Rare in the wild, it is primarily found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas.}} It had a number of kicking moves as [[signature move]]s in the past: {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|High Jump Kick}}, {{m|Rolling Kick}},  and {{m|Mega Kick}}.

The jump moves in an arc heavily affected by gravity, but deals a great amount of damage and upward knockback to any foe it hits. Hitmonlee was replaced by {{p|Scizor}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], who attacks in a similar way.

* Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the only Pokémon not previously related through an evolution family that later gained a shared pre-evolved form.

* According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon recommended for the [[Pokéathlon|Hurdle Dash]] that is not a {{type|Flying}}.

* Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan received the biggest increase to their {{stat|Special}} stat in Generation II, gaining 75 points of {{stat|Special Defense}}.

Based on its Japanese name and kicking attribute, Hitmonlee may represent Japanese kickboxer {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}. Hitmonlee may be a personification of martial arts that focus on kicking, such as {{wp|kickboxing}}, {{wp|savate}}, {{wp|Muay Thai}}, and {{wp|Taekwondo}}. Due to its lack of a head, Hitmonlee's design bears a resemblance to mythical {{wp|headless men}} such as the {{wp|Xingtian}} and the Hindu demon {{wp|Kabandha}}.
